Considering homeschooling? Here are helpful resources

(BPT) - If you've been thinking about homeschooling your children - or you're already doing so - you're not alone. According to the Washington Post, homeschooling has continued to surge since the pandemic, becoming the "fastest growing form of education in the country," with an estimated 1.9-2.7 million students being educated at home in the U.S.

Who are today's homeschooling families?

The reasons many parents are choosing homeschooling today, as well as the demographics of these families, are complex and diverse. Research from the Washington Post found that some of the top reasons today's families opt for homeschooling include concerns about the school environment, worries about their children's safety and bullying, as well as dissatisfaction with the quality of the academic instruction being provided at their child's school.

The National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) reports that homeschooling families today also include people from a much wider variety of backgrounds, income and education levels than previously thought. For example, about 41% of homeschooling families are non-white, including Black, Asian and Hispanic students.

Because of the varied backgrounds and outlooks of parents who homeschool today, there's a real need for more options for secular resources to help design the best possible curriculum to meet the needs of all homeschooling families.

In addition, many families who send their children to school also want to find high-quality materials to help supplement their child's education at home.

How to find resources to meet customized needs

Homeschooling families are as unique as every child, and as the reasons for choosing to homeschool grow, parents want resources that are not limited to a specific worldview. Parents are seeking support and resources to supplement their child's education and support their learning experience at home.
